![Page 5: The Appearance of the Sacred. Exterior of Chartres Cathedral.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649d5c5503460f94a3b0c3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Prophetic pattern
• Prophet: speaks message on behalf of another– Often focused on social justice– In religion, might speak for God
• Focus on the message, given by a messenger
• Stress on belief, society, and morality—all centered around revelation, usually given in history

Sacramental pattern
• Sacred is mediated through something material and tangible– Needs a mediator, like a priest or shaman– Example: Eucharist
• visible sign (bread and wine) of an invisible grace (sacred presence of Christ)
• Stress on sacred objects and ritual as vehicles for the sacred

Mystical pattern
• Focus on change of consciousness to encounter the sacred– Example: Buddha’s enlightenment– Might have “other-worldly” connotations– Might focus on visions, out-of-body
experiences, or extraordinary perception
• Stress on states of consciousness, feeling, and experience

• But, some feature a particular pattern more prominently– Islam: Mohammed, Koran, focus on justice– Buddhism: Meditation, enlightenment– Judaism: Moses, Torah, ethical obligations– Christianity: God becomes human, worship includes
sacraments
